The Highs & Lows :)

 The Highs & Lows...

All of us have highs and lows in life. All of us might have heard that sharing pain halves it and sharing happiness doubles.

Sharing happiness indeed doubles when both the sides have positive outlook. If the happy one shares the news to show off or the listening party is full of sorrows or is simply jealous, it might not double. 

The same thing happens when a person is trying to catch a breath from rock bottom. If someone is very sad within, the other person's similar sad story or success story might not motivate or inspire. Rather, it will irritate and pinch more.

Neither everyone's pain is same nor the happiness. 

All of us have a different magnitude of tolerance and stamina to endure the pain and celebrate happiness. No matter how better the other person proves in a difficult situation, it might not make the other to buck up or be happy if he/she is not in a mindset to do so. 

Happiness might be a simple smile and at the same time, a person can't be happy even if he/she is in possession of a gold mine. May be a hug, a helping hand, a warm gesture could go a long way. 

May be someone happy or sad doesn't want to listen your side of story or really doesn't have the strength to support. A little bit of understanding and sense of timing might solace each other's hearts.

We all judge others and in parallel sell ourselves to be in the good books. But, as the saying goes, beauty beholds the viewer's eyes. No matter what you do, making a person sad, happy, comfortable is in the person's best interest. 

In highs, its ok to discuss most of the things. In lowest of lows, one has to be mindful of the feelings. Otherwise, it will end in scaring both the hearts. These scars howsoever lightened, just remain there forever.

The world brings so many flickering shades. With the passage of time, in the ripples of lows and highs, we flow with many lives, yearning for one, aspiring to be one and becoming one. 

# It implies everyone's feelings when they are in good stead or when they are in the opposite situation. For example, I might be very happy for getting the first rank. But I can't tell this happily to my friend who has failed. If I tell the same to my parents that I am the first rank holder, everyone could jump in happiness. It's a perspective.
